Introduction High altitude air cooling has always been somewhat of a mystery to the uninformed. The first reaction to the situation is that there is just not enough air at altitudes greater than six kilometers (20,000 ft). At times this may be true, but many things can be done to improve the cooling and obtain an acceptable design. The most important thing to remember when … [Read more...]
Fan selection – quick techniques to compare various tube-axial fan designs
The worldwide market for tube-axial fans is very large and, as a consequence, the number of tube-axial suppliers is significant. This article will focus on the techniques that can be used to quickly compare various tube-axial fan product offerings, in order to provide a quick screen and minimize the number of suppliers that are submitted to a detailed evaluation. Supplier … [Read more...]
All you need to know about fans
A Basic Fan/Blower Description Fans can be thought of as low pressure air pumps that utilize power from amotor to output a volumetric flow of air at a given pressure. A propellerconverts torque from the motor to increase static pressure across the fan rotorand to increase the kinetic energy of the air particles. The motors aretypically permanent split capacitor AC induction … [Read more...]
How to evaluate fan life
Convection air cooling is still the most commonly used method of coolingmicroelectronics. In order to deliver air cooled computer equipment with higherreliability, we need to focus on the life expectancy of the air moving devices(AMDs). However, this is not a trivial exercise because there are so manyvariables and there is no industry standard for AMD life test procedures. … [Read more...]
